Steam for Linux Now Has More than 1000 Games

The number of Linux
games has just passed the 1000 milestone and there is no sign that it's
slowing down. If anything, the rhythm of porting is getting faster.

The Steam for Linux platform is a little over two

or port more than 1000 games. In fact, now there are 1002 games to be

community didn't anticipate this kind of support and it's taking users
by surprise.

If you take into consideration that the Linux
adoption among the Steam users is somewhere around 1.5% (and that's
being generous), the fact that we now have 1000 games ready for purchase
and download is really amazing. To make things even more interesting,

number of these titles have been released on all the platforms at once
and that trend seems to increase.Continue Reading.
